Nuggets blew this game. Idk if they win the series now I don’t think OKC is unbeatable

They didn’t really do anything special outside of SGA isos that were mostly misses. Denver not being able to hit a free throw cost them.

They’re solid defensively though. Really solid.

Too many missed shots by denver in the fourth quarter. That was embarrassing. Still don’t know if they can win this. They needed this game.

They didn't go 8+ minutes without scoring to blow a 20 point second half lead for the second straight time so I'd say they did a lot better than us :dontknow:

Caruzo, Hartenstein and Shai were leading them (the experienced bunch)
The others didn't play that well. 90 points is way below their potential. Shame that DEN could buy a basket and shot poorly from the line

Leaving Wallace and Wiggins open on the 3 line is not a good strategy (combined 6-9 from 3 - most were wide open)

Jokic with another bad shooting game, but the most glaring thing is he had only 3 assists. Can't win this way

That Thunder-Nuggets game was a rough watch. Both teams kinda sucked, as did the two MVP candidates.

Guess game okc/denv game 1 didn’t happen. Same story when it’s player versus player, wait for the person to do something well to tout him, while conveniently forgetting the bad.

Jokic pretty much choked. As great as he is, that was not good play. Something Tatum would be and has been crucified for.

Rooting for the Cavs. Gotta a feeling if the cavs lose we will also lay an egg tomorrow.

Cavs laying an egg right now.

An ejection for what seem to be a very, very light but closed fisted. Punch all while hunter's response was to shove matthew to the floor. It easily should have been double ejection. Especially when you consider which one was actually far more dangerous and that was the shove.

And my memory tends to be very good when insults are involved. There was at least one poster. claiming Ty Jerome was better than peyton pritchard..

And since pp cannot defend himselves on here, I will. :nod:

Read on Twitter

If the Pacers win this, then it's a hard road for the Cavaliers.
Pacers up, after 1st Qtr.

Ref Goble has been brutal this postseason

Pacers going for the kill.

This is a destruction. I hope the celtics are taking notes. You better be careful tomorrow. You gonna aver a desperate Knicks team.

I mean, you can just see clearly. How much better coached the Pacers are? They moved up bowl with conviction. Anyone at any given time can be aggressive. An attack, there is no slow down at all and they recognize when one of their players got it going..

If Boston signed Rick Carlisle. When he was available, we may be on a three peat..

Instead we hired to brand new unproven and clearly limited coaches. Just thinking about that makes me sick.

Road teams currently 10-3 in this round of the playoffs. (I'm posting this before we learn whether the home Pacers' big lead holds up.)

2 home wins in the OKC/Denver series and 1 in Minny/GS.
